Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings (GT vs PBKS) Today Match Prediction Preview:
Welcome to the GT vs PBKS Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk cricket experts. Punjab Kings will take on topper Gujarat Titans in the 48th match of the TATA IPL, 2022 on Sunday, 30 April 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium. Keep on reading for more information on the GT vs. PBKS game.
Punjab Kings again failed to take advantage of momentum in the last game against Lucknow Super Giants where they failed to chase 154 runs. This has been a story for Punjab Kings this season and with 5 games left, they will be looking to quickly fix these issues. Punjab’s batting order looks really scary on paper but on the field they have struggled to deliver performances. Mayank Aggarwal has been a super flop this season and his poor run with the bat is one of the main reasons behind their failures.
Contrastingly their opponents Gujarat Titans have one foot in the playoffs and a win here would officially seal their birth. In the last match again Gujarat showcased why they are the best team in the IPL. While bowling, they brilliantly restricted RCB to a par total after Kohli stroked fifty and provided the launchpad for players. And when Gujarat came to chase, Rahul and Miller again produced a masterclass to take the team through home safely. Gujarat has now the luxury of experimenting with the team but it is unlikely until they seal a playoff berth officially.

GT vs. PBKS Today Match Prediction, IPL 2022, Who Will Win the Match?
GT to win
Gujarat is playing extraordinary cricket this season and it is hard to look beyond them in any match. They even now showcased the depth of the squad after they brought in Pradeep Sangwan for Dayal who also performed exceedingly well with 2 scalps to his name. DY Patil’s pitch is starting to slow down with more and more matches on it which would be more beneficial for Gujarat than for Punjab Kings. Gujarat is clear favourites for this clash and are likely to come on top again.
Team Update/Players Availability/Injury News
- Punjab might bring back Shahrukh Khan for Vaibhav Sharma
- Gujarat Titans could replace Sangwan with Dayal to keep up with solidity.
